Hachemeister Data Set

Description

Long format of the Hachemeister (1975) data set giving average claim amounts in private passenger bodily injury insurance. We have data of five U.S. states over 12 quarters between July 1970 and June 1973 and we have the corresponding number of claims. To obtain a hierarchical structure, we created an artificial variable cohort. With this, we created a hierarchical multi-level factor, with cohort as the first hierarchical level and state as the second hierarchical level, nested within cohort.
